Please give these to a competent audio engineer who will know how to properly process / bake the tapes, so the adhesive that binds the metal oxide to the polymer backing reactivates, so you don't turn them into a pile of dust as you press play.

I mean...I THINK they're real...but I just don't know what they're worth.

I'll give you fifty bucks, and I don't even know why I'm offering THAT.

well, i think they are really cool, but there is just such a limited market for them, and they will sit on my shelf FOREVER!

For some reason I always misread that is "Prawn Stars". It helps me feel superior.

I worked a few shows at a small theater and saw some interesting looking tapes stashed away in the sound booth. Moon landings, speeches, and such. It's amazing what people can find squirreled away in the dark corners of garages, attics, and closets.

So wait ... if Walt and Jessie are cooking meth in people's houses, wouldn't the HUGE electricity bill give them away? I mean, wouldn't the homeowner notice a $5000 electric bill?

Yes, I know my expert said they're worth 10 grand, but I have to get them cleaned up, put them either in the store or up for auction, and still make a little money. Twenty bucks is the best I can do.

I love Pawn Star. The old man is such a quirk.

In Summerville? Hmm. Usually it's white hoods being found in closets in that part of town.

Wrong thread?


I'm just sayin' ... the power those machines consume has to be enormous.

Sorry, I can't hear these tapes over the sound of how awesome Obama is.

I don't know why but I am hopelessly addicted to Pawn Stars. It's a stupid show and I'm sure it's mostly made up but I look forward to every episode. Help me!

Jimmy issues statement: 'We were friends, it was consensual and we were both adults at the time. The tapes were for private use."

What's even more important, what we hear is a much different Civil Rights leader than seen in the history books.

"And so I'm not gonna give you a motto of preach philosophy burn baby burn," King could be heard saying in the recording.


MLK advocating nonviolence? That is a turn of events.

so... what do u want to do with them?


SELL THEM.

how much do you want?

$X.XX

well X is kinda high
i'm thinking more like $X/2

"I'm gonna say build baby build, organize baby organize."

The next tape we're going to find is going to be about "Drill, baby, drill!" Then they'll all be re-released together in the "Life after death, baby, death!' album with all proceeds going to the King family.

yah that may be what they would sell for at auction, but good luck finding the perfect buyer. This is a rare item, which means the market is small on it.

Honestly, if you had them signed that would triple the price. Even though Pops would say its a bad investment, i'm willing to go to $350 but thats my absolute limit. I'll even pay you in hundreds

Out of twenty-nine comments, there were twenty-seven pawnstar jokes before two comments about MLK and the article. Fark is farked. Sadly, I think this website is done.

Even Martin Luther King Jr. has his own sexy tapes awesome!

"Oh yeah oh yeah Rosa Parks, lemme sit yo ass here on my big seat!"

A picture?
I'll give ya like 500 words for it.

American Restoration was the best thing to come out of this show.

In Vegas-
customer: I want 50
Rick: (long ass explanation of why he wants it cheap)
Rick: I'll give you 20
customer: can I get 40
Rick: 30 is the best I can do
customer: ok 30 is good
Old man: dammit Rick, you should have offered 25

In Detroit-
customer: I want 50
Les: how about 10
customer: maybe 40
Les: 10
customer: ok 30
Les: 10 is all i can give you
customer: you cheap ass bastard, go to hell
customer: hey get off of me man, stop pushing
Les: (outside) you can't do that in my store, don't come back
customer: fark you
Les: have a nice day

During the Chicago Riots, LBJ sent advisers to meet with MLK to help develop a course action to best diffuse the dangerous situation. MLK turned the group away because he was holed up in a hotel for hours trying to convince street gang punks not to throw rocks at the national guard for invading their turf. His Gandhi style pacifism saved many kids from possibly being machined gunned down in US city streets.

I agree that Fark.com is done. It'll probably become a collectible, but there isn't a huge market for Fark.coms out there right now. I'll give you ten bucks for it, and I don't even know why I'm offering that.

hey chumlee what u gonna buy now
a cake??

....and not a penny more.

I didn't know Fark.com was a social commentary site. If that kind of shiat breaks out I'll stop visiting.
